Scarlett Johansson found herself at the center of controversy when OpenAI launched a chatbot with a voice eerily similar to hers, leaving the star shocked and angered. The actress expressed disbelief at the striking resemblance and questioned the process behind choosing her voice for the AI assistant. OpenAI faced backlash and decided to pause the voice, denying that it was a deliberate imitation of Scarlett Johansson's voice. Despite the company's claims, Scarlett Johansson remained firm in her stance, demanding transparency and clarification regarding the unauthorized use of her voice.
The ChatGPT controversy escalated when Scarlett Johansson's lawyers reportedly contacted Sam Altman, expressing concern over the unauthorized duplication of her voice. Altman, in response, denied any intentional cloning of the actress's voice for the AI assistant. The issue raised questions about data privacy and the ethical implications of using celebrity voices without explicit consent. Scarlett Johansson's firm stance against the unauthorized use of her voice set a precedent for digital rights and the protection of celebrity identities in the digital age.
In a surprising turn of events, OpenAI faced further scrutiny as it emerged that Scarlett Johansson had been approached multiple times to provide her voice for ChatGPT but had declined the offer. This revelation added a new layer to the controversy, raising questions about OpenAI's handling of voice permissions and the ethical considerations surrounding AI voices. The incident sparked discussions about the boundaries of technology and the need for clear guidelines on voice usage in AI applications.
